It looks like Microsoft will compete with Apple's Garageband home music creation software with a new Groove Music Maker app. The sizzle reel showed an app that lets people mix instrumental and vocal tracks, plus apply basic effects like reverb.

Microsoft Edge will get a feature designed to make it easier to flip through a bunch of browser tabs. The video shows a user able to scroll through a horizontal carousel of rich tab previews that show the contents of pages before they're opened.

In a similar tab management vein, Edge will also get a feature that looks like a way for users to save their browser tabs to access later. It's reminiscent of features like Apple's Reading List in Safari, which also lets users keep a list of articles and sites they want to hold on to for later.

Microsoft's Maps app is getting a new section called Collections, which appear to be exactly what they sound like -- groupings of places. It also seems like there will be some mechanism in the app for sharing those collections between friends, but it's not immediately clear how that will work.

If you blinked while watching the video, you probably missed this information flashing on the screen briefly. The Start menu shows a new Cortana live tile, along with an icon for a Battery Level Live tile.

The former seems like a good way for people to get contextual information from Microsoft's virtual assistant, and the latter seems like a useful tool for people with laptops and tablets.

People who want to further customize the way Windows looks will be able to pick from a full palette of accent colors, rather than the handful of swatches that Microsoft allows today. It also looks like Windows will tell users when the color they picked might be unreadable.

It looks like the Windows Store will get support for selling in-app purchases directly from its home screen. Microsoft is showing both Minecraft IAPs and digital items from League of Legends in this screenshot, which could mean that there's a partnership afoot between the two firms.

That would make sense, considering that Windows and Devices Group chief Terry Myerson name-checked the League of Legends World Championship on stage at the event on Wednesday.

This looks like a feature that will be a boon to parents who are looking to keep a handle on the gaming time that their kids have available. A notification pops up over this Minecraft footage telling the player that they have five minutes left, though it's unclear what happens after time's up.

It looks like Microsoft might be taking this opportunity to at least partially redesign Action Center's quick actions capabilities to make it easier for people to do things like adjust internet settings, volume, and brightness.
